Coma

I spent some time in a coma. It is a weird state to be in as it was to me a time when I did not exist. It was lost time. A blank part of my whole life. Dying (I've done that) is different as you still have awareness of your body and being. In a coma you find a total blank. In fact it took a bit of work to bring out memory of the day before because as the doctor explained, without REM sleep memory is not placed in the mind where it can be brought back or recalled. I wonder what it would be like to die while in a coma. Would you have the same sensations that you experience when you die in a conscious state?

Sounds like when I got ECT treatments--whole years wiped out. Years I was alive but have no memory of.
